Does anyone know of any street art galleries? I would love to have some paintings on canvas to take home from my trip.

New sticker!!

I saw this piece on the 1 train a while back. I thought it was cool. I left it but I wish I had taken it... Artist?

I'm looking to create a mini-doc (3-5 minutes) about a Graffiti artist in Brooklyn (Bushwick is ideal but not necessary). This doc will be entered into a contest and if put in the top ten will be featured on a Youtube channel that has millions of subscribers.

If you are looking to share some insight on what it is like to be a graffiti artists (even if it illegal) please reach out ASAP. It could be a great way to increase your following if you have a social media account associated with your work. The deadline for the doc is FEB 10th. We are flexible with the approach and if you don't want to show your face we can work around that as well.

If you are interested please reach out and we can discuss more!

Hi, I'm looking to open small smoke shop, tiny.

I am part of a student design team seeking insights into urban culture. We would love for you to share your experiences in a mood/vision board. The directions are super simple, we don't want to take up too much of your time!

For anyone interested in helping out, here's the directions:

1. Create a board using your method of choice. To give some ideas, this could be done on canva, pinterest, miro, figjam, a physical collage, etc.
2. Compile some images you personally associate with culture in New York. Feel free to incorporate pictures, works of art, words, quotes, songs, artists and more. (whatever resonates with you personally)
3. Reply to this thread (or DM me) with a screenshot or public link to your board, and please include the year you were born in your board or your reply.

Thank you!

I have been fascinated by toynbee tiles for some time. I looked up a few maps but they seem fairly old. Today I went up and down Greenwich Street where there were reported to be 5 or 6 of them but no luck. Just wondering if anyone has seen any.

This map suggests there may be some on 6th near the flatiron building. https://goo.gl/maps/iE52qPAusRp6Wh299

Anyone seen any recently?

I’m not an artists myself but used to paint as a hobby. I’d love to help with community projects or collab. I joined some volunteer opportunities and am looking forward but would like to know other ways I can get involved
